A legal battle over Louisiana’s controversial Ten Commandments law is expected to begin in court on Monday (October 21), with state authorities and opponents preparing to argue whether the law breaches constitutional principles.
The dispute revolves around a law that mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom in the state.
Opponents, including national advocacy groups, argue that the mandate violates the separation of church and state.
The lawsuit was filed with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Freedom From Religion Foundation, and a New York law firm.
According to Alex Luchenitser, Associate Legal Director for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the law is in direct contrast with a 1980 Supreme Court decision that overturned a similar mandate in Kentucky.
However, advocates of the law, such as State Senator Adam Bass, say that the Ten Commandments have a legitimate place in American institutions, citing their presence in the United States Supreme Court.
Louisiana’s Attorney General, Liz Murrill, defended the law, claiming it is constitutional.
In a statement, Murrill stated, “…Regardless of how people feel about the proposed law, it is constitutional…,” adding that she looks forward to presenting the state’s arguments in court.
